            Bug ID: 143172
           Summary: When printing to file, the default location is not the
                    directory of the file itself
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: Printing and PDF export
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: steffen at michalek.de

Description:
When using "direct export to pdf", then the current directory offered in the
filename dialog window is the directory of the document.
When using "print to file" (e.g. for creating a pdf with 2-pages onto 1 paper),
the current directory offered in the filename dialog window is the user home
directory.
So, putting the pdf into the same directory as the document itself needs some
(many) steps choosing the right directory every time you create that pdf.

The behaviour should be analog / similar.
The present behaviour is unexpected. 
(More than once I ended in searching for the printed pdf or, more often, have
to click alogn always the same path of directories.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Export as pdf (either with further options or "direct export")
2.Choose "print", "print to file" and button "print to file" (I use the german
version, so I hope, the english terms are understandable).
3.Expect to reside in the same directory.

Actual Results:
The directory offered for printing/saving is the user's home directory.

Expected Results:
The directory offered for printing/saving should be the directory, where the
document itself is located.
The behaviour should be the same as for e.g."save as" or "direct export to
pdf".


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
I did not check the behaviour on Windows (lack of a respective system).
